A LOVING POEM I WROTE TODAY HAHAHAHA





I want to write a loving poem
or a letter of my past loves,
but then I find surprisingly,
it's me I'm thinking of.
I'm so cute , that I can't stand it,
it gets me to the bone,
while standing at a mirror,
I ask to take me home,
I try to play real hard to get,
I try real hard you see,
But how can I resist myself,
while looking there at me. hahahaha

Forgiveness made easy

Do you remember when you were taught that in order to be forgiven, you must forgive ?
How hard that was to do because of the pain that you were feeling from the injustice that was done to you ?
HOW CAN I FORGIVE THEM WHEN I FEEL SUCH HATE TOWARDS THEM FOR WHAT THEY DID TO ME ? Legitimate question don't you think ?
Misunderstanding and the lack of research, leads to roadblocks for successful outcomes !
IT REALLY IS SO SIMPLE that I was blown away when I seen it and realized it takes no effort at all ( unless revenge is your priority ), then of course we are working on a greater problem.
But if you are one who follows the Christian belief , then forgiveness ( no matter what was done or how painful ) will come down to the simple rule of obedience to God's command to forgive.
FIRST,  obedience has NOTHING TO DO WITH EMOTION !  It is simply following an order given, USING THE STEPS shown on HOW TO DO IT !
The emotional part can be worked on later !
IF you read the bible, you will find three places in there that shows specifically how to do it.
Did you notice that when Jesus was hanging on the cross, that he NEVER said, I FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO ME ?
Did you notice when Steven was being stoned to death that he never said , I forgive you for what you are doing to me ?
What about Paul ???
What were the things that all three had in common ?
They all asked the Supreme Judge to not hold their actions to their charge, thereby setting them free from payment due from injustice done .
Jesus said, Father forgive them !
You see that none of them said that they forgave them , but all forgave by asking the Father to release them of their judgement due !
I can do my part in forgiving and obey God's command by simply asking God to not hold THAT sin of offense done to me to their charge and thereby securing my place of forgiveness and obedience to the Father while he is obligated to complete his word when he said Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
NOW, I CAN HEAL FROM THE OFFENSES DONE TO ME IN MY OWN TIME , for I am not God and I cannot set in the Judgement seat of God to say who is forgiven and who isn't ! ONLY HE CAN DO THAT !  But I CAN obey regardless of my pain and emotion.
We were taught in ignorant error I believe. As the pain of the emotion from injustice done to us, prevented our act of obedience to God , obstructing MERCY towards the offender and causing God's hand to be held to the call for judgement on our behalf and in effect securing judgement for ourselves !

  Please offer any comment to what I have found,,, THANKS
